Bugzilla Bug 213790

Emerge -pv output for non-slotted ebuilds does let you compare easily what
version number of an ebuild would get installed and what version number might
already be installed.

Not so for slotted stuff, as you can see in the additional information field:
It is not immediately clear there's jdk 1.5 installed already when you do
emerge -pv jdk

I was told on irc there's "emerge -pvC <virtual>" to get information about
previously filled slots -- but that can't be it, can it?



Reproducible: Always




com ~ # emerge -pv jdk

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  NS   ] dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.03  USE="-X -alsa -doc -examples -jce
(-nsplugin) -odbc" 60,724 kB 
[ebuild  NS   ] virtual/jdk-1.6.0  0 kB 

Total: 2 packages (2 in new slots), Size of downloads: 60,724 kB

com ~ # emerge -pvC jdk

>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

 virtual/jdk
    selected: 1.5.0 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none 

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

no idea what "sth" means ... going to guess you actually meant "examples"

Fixed in r9488 and released in sys-apps/portage-2.2_pre5.

This bug should be RESOLVED FIXED and block bug #210077.

This is supposed to be fixed in portage-2.2_pre5 or earlier.
